SOPA explained... O_O

Buckle up before you hit play...

“The claim and exercise of a constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime.”
[Miller vs. U.S., 230 F. Supp. 486, 489 (1956)]
“There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of his exercise of constitutional rights.”
[Sherar vs. Cullen, 481 F2d. 946 (1973)]

He lost me in the first second; I gave it three seconds to be sure, but he confirmed that he's not worth my time.

I don't even care if he agrees with me on SOPA; he's obnoxious and unlistenable.

Never heard of anyone "rage quitting" on a youtube video till now.

what he was saying made sense to me. do you think SOPA is a good thing?

The issues require a LOT of investigation. Let's hope this is fully fleshed out long before it enters the horribly-repressive system of "justice."

I no longer have any confidence in the moderation or administration of this forum. Nonetheless, the First STILL protects the Second, and the Second protects the First! Together, they protect the rest of our Bill of Rights and other founding documents. If you're going to do anything at all, do it right!

Sounds like the investigation is done... the guy states they have nearly 100,000 pages of docments or whatever... he also says that if this passes, it's not going to be easily undone... so the time for action is now...

No, that isn't what I said, not at all. What I did say is that this individual's delivery and demeanor painted him as someone playing with less than a full deck.

I think he was just trying hard to maintain people's attention for a topic he thought was important, but after reading a couple comments here it appears to have been counter-productive.
